by Alan Murray (Author), Jeffrey Birnbaum (Introduction by)
Correspondents for the Wall Street Journal give the definitive account of one of the major political and economic stories of this time--the great tax overhaul of 1986.
Front Jacket
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was the single most sweeping change in the history of America's income tax. It was also the best political and economic story of its time. Here, in the anecdotal style of The Making of the President, two Wall Street Journal reporters provide the first complete picture of how this tax revolution went from an improbable dream to a widely hailed reality.
